I have been using the 3 apps together for a good while on my Windows Server 2012 and love the software!
Using drivepool duplication I am safe in the knowledge that my files are safe from drive failure.
Recently with the worry of crypto viruses, I am trying to devise a method where my important files are backed up off site, with no persistent drive mapping which cold also be encrypted if infected.
A friend has given me space on his SFTP server and I have created a drive on my local machine with CloudDrive.
I then run a scheduled backup with Acronis Backup 11 and it works perfectly.
Acronis allows the running of commands / scripts at the start and end of backup jobs, I wondered if I could run a command that allowed the mounting of the SFTP CloudDrive at the start of the backup, then a dismount when the backup is complete.
This way, there is no persistent drive mapping during normal server operation meaning its not susceptible to a crypto viruses until its mounted.... minimising the risk.
